August!

Well, as you can see, things didn't go as I had thought they would. Here I am just now getting caught up. Chris is doing well. He got to go home from the hospital the Monday following his surgery. Last week was his first full week back. He is not allowed long distance travel as well as lifting anything more than 15 pounds until he sees Dr. suthers the 3rd of september.

Kids are back in school and it has been good for them to have something consistent in their lives. Nathaniel is enjoying it, even thought he was pretty sure he wouldn't. Hannah is glad to be making new friends as well as seeing and reconnecting with old ones. I am trying to get caught up on all the things I am behind on and not having much luck.
I am uploading a few picts from over the summer. A lot happened and so much time to fill in all the blanks. As for our fall, Chris is in the recieving department at work, which works out great for him as he can drink, go to the bathroom, sit and rest whenever he needs to, and yet is able to work 40 hours a week and help in a much needed way at the store. They have been so awesome to us this summer!!!

I start working at Antioch preschool again effective Monday. I will be working with another lady in the 2 year old class. I am excited about it as I am also taking online classes to finish my early childhood education degree. I am also coordinating the activities for the kids at our churches mother's group. It is called Mother's with grace and i am excited about being involved in it.

I don't have pictures yet, but Chris took me this past Friday out on a 10th anniversary date. Since we were in the hospital for our anniversary, he thought it would be sweet to take me to a place like where we met. It was a Happy anniversary, and thanks for taking good care of me this summer date. We went to a place called Cuppies and Joe. I will get picts on here ASAP. I took a good one of the 2 of us, which hasn't happened in quite a while!!

I am hoping that our fall will be full of peace and rest, and I hope you enjoy the picts!! Until next time!!

Hannah made Chris a special cupcake for Father's day. She was the one most worried about his well-being.

I shouldn't have put this one on, but I wanted to take a picture and share so that people can be reminded that what you eat does have a dramatic affect on what happens to you. It is a reminder to us that life is fragile and each minute with each other is a precious gift from God. We cherish that!
